It is explanatory drawing explaining an example of the conveyance state of the can body test | inspected with the can body conveyance state abnormality detection apparatus which concerns on FIG. It is a flowchart showing the conveyance state abnormality detection of the can body in the can body conveyance state abnormality detection apparatus which concerns on FIG.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the configuration of the can body conveyance state abnormality detection device 1, and FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining an example of the conveyance state of the can body 3 inspected by the can body conveyance state abnormality detection device 1 of FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a conveyance state abnormality detection process of the can body 3 in the can body conveyance state abnormality detection device 1 of FIG.

  Before the can body 3 is sent to the printing process, the coolant adhering to the inner and outer surfaces of the can body 3 is washed by a chemical shower while being conveyed on the mesh conveyor 21 (hereinafter referred to as “conveyor”). There is a process. And there exists a drying process dried after washing. In this washing / drying process, it is necessary to be conveyed on the conveyor 21 in an upright can state with the bottom surface of the can body 3 facing up.

  The can body conveyance state abnormality detection device 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a reference signal output unit 13, a conveyance state monitoring unit 12, and an abnormal conveyance determination unit 11 that determines that the conveyance state of the can 3 is abnormal. Before the washing / drying process of the can body 3 is performed, the conveyance state of the can body 3 placed on the conveyor 21 and conveyed downstream is determined.

  The can body conveyance state abnormality detection device 1 determines that the conveyance state is normal when the can body 3 is conveyed in the state of an upright can with the opening portion down and the bottom of the can up. It is configured to determine that the transport state is abnormal when transported in the state of a tilted can 3 in a state of being laid down 3 or an inverted can with the bottom of the can facing down and the opening portion facing up.

(About reference signal output)
The conveyor 21 provided in the can transport unit 2 to which the can 3 is transported includes a plurality of transport rollers 22 that can be rotationally driven. When the conveyance roller 22 is driven to rotate, the plurality of cans 3 placed on the conveyor 21 are washed and dried while being conveyed in an aligned state.

  For example, a rotary encoder is connected to the transport roller 22 a as a reference signal output unit 13 that converts the rotation amount into a pulse signal that becomes a reference signal P corresponding to the transport speed of the conveyor 21 and outputs the pulse signal to the abnormal transport determination unit 11. ing.

  The reference signal output unit 13 is driven as the transport roller 22a of the conveyor 21 rotates, and outputs a pulse signal for each rotation angle at a predetermined interval.

(About the transport status monitoring unit)
Above the conveyor 21, a conveyance state monitoring unit 12 that monitors the conveyance state of the cans 3 is provided.

Transfer state monitoring section 12 outputs a light emitting unit that emits illumination light for illuminating an object, a light receiving portion for receiving the reflected light reflected from the object, the sensor signal when receiving reflected light, i.e., a conveying signals S ₁ And a signal output unit. For example, a laser displacement sensor is preferably used for the conveyance state monitoring unit 12.

Referring to transport signals S ₁ with reference to FIG. 2, when it is conveyed in a state of SeiTatsukan A is conveyed signals S ₁ from the signal output section for not receiving the reflected light by the light receiving portion is not output.

The can body 3 is collapsed cans B, and is conveyed in the state and C, or when it is transported in a state of Gyakuritsukan D is light reflected by the light receiving portion is received, the transport signals S ₁ from the signal output unit Is output.

  This is because the reflected light is reflected only when the reflecting surface that reflects the irradiation light emitted from the transport state monitoring unit 12 is located in the reflected light detection range R indicating the range in which the transport state monitoring unit 12 can receive the reflected light. This is because the light is received.

Reflecting surface for reflecting illumination light emitted from the transport state monitoring unit 12 is located at a position lower than the reflected light detection range upper limit T ₁ is the upper limit of the reflected light detection range R and is at the lower limit of the reflected light detection range R when in the position higher than the reflected light detection range limit T _2, is received the reflected light by the light receiving portion of the conveyance state monitoring unit 12, it is configured to output a transport signals S ₁ to the abnormality conveyance determination unit 11 It is realized with. In other words, when reflected at a position higher than the reflected light detection range upper limit T ₁ and when reflected at a position lower than the reflected light detection range lower limit T _{2, the} reflected light is reflected by the light receiving unit of the transport state monitoring unit 12. Is not received.

Since transfer state monitoring unit 12 is installed so as to receive the reflected light when the conveying state of the can body 3 is in a state other than positive Tatsukan A, conveyance state of the can body 3 by the output state of the transfer signals S ₁ Normality or abnormality can be determined.

  The transport state monitoring unit 12 is provided with a sensor amplifier or the like so that the intensity of light received by the light receiving unit can be automatically adjusted to a certain amount.

The conveyance state monitoring unit 12 is configured to output a conveyance signal S ₁ indicating the conveyance state of the can 3 to the abnormal conveyance determination unit 11 described later.

(About abnormal conveyance judgment part)
An abnormal conveyance determination unit 11 that determines an abnormality in the conveyance state of the can body 3 is a storage unit that stores a program for determining an abnormality in the conveyance state of the can body 3, and a signal input / output in which various signals are input and output. And a control unit such as a CPU that executes the program. For example, a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) or a microcomputer is used for the abnormal conveyance determination unit 11. With such a configuration, for example, the program can be easily changed even when the determination condition or the like is changed.

The signal input / output unit receives a reference signal P output from the reference signal output unit 13 at a predetermined interval and a carrier signal S ₁ output from the carrier state monitoring unit 12. Each signal is input to the signal input / output unit as an ON-OFF signal as shown by a rectangular wave in FIG. In the following description, the rise of each signal is assumed to be in the ON state, and the fall of each signal is assumed to be in the OFF state.

The storage unit, an input state of the carrier signal S ₁ is stored in the other programs. For example, when the reference signal P to the signal input-output unit is input, configured to store the input state of the transfer signals S ₁ at that time.

  The control unit determines an abnormality in the conveyance state of the can 3 based on the information stored in the storage unit.

Control unit, when the transport signals S ₁ from the transfer state monitoring unit 12 to the signal input unit detects that input, over a latest predetermined number of the conveyed signals S ₁ stored in the storage unit is input conveyor with reference to the input state of the signals S _1, i.e., the predetermined period based on the most recent reference signal P is conveyed signals S ₁ is input (for example, 50 pulses) with reference to the input state of the transfer signals S ₁ of Then, the conveyance state of the can body 3 is determined.

In the period of the carrier signal S ₁ is inputted last 50 pulses, when the carrier signal S ₁ is entered in a predetermined number of times (e.g., 40 times) or more signal input-output unit, the control unit conveying of the can body 3 It is determined that the state is abnormal. The predetermined time for determining an abnormality is 80% to 100% of the predetermined period.

As the predetermined period, among the various cans 3 having an abnormal conveyance state, the one in which the reflection surface of the can 3 is present in the reflected light detection range R is the shortest. Referring to FIG. 2, it can be seen that the input signal of the conveyance signal S ₁ in the case of the inverted can D among the fallen cans B and C and the inverted can D which are the can bodies 3 having an abnormal conveyance state is the shortest. Therefore, the predetermined time is, it is sufficient to set slightly shorter than the time conveying signals S ₁ opposite standing cans D are input. Incidentally, when the set value of the predetermined time is too short, because the erroneous detection in a case where the transport signals S ₁ of the can body 3 being conveyed normally is input for some reason occur, so as not to cause erroneous detection It is preferably determined based on experimental data or the like.

At this time, the control unit determines that in 50 pulses, if the transport signals S ₁ inputs by integrating 40 times (or 40 pulses) or more, is an abnormal conveyance state of the can body 3. Such determination, even if the input of conveying signals S ₁ of the can body 3 is abnormally transported is interrupted for some reason, it can be reliably detected abnormality of the transport state.

As described above, the abnormality conveyance determination unit 11, upon detecting an abnormal state of conveyance of the can body 3 based on the transport signals S ₁ output from the transfer state monitoring unit 12, the carrier signal S ₁ and the based on the reference signal P, when an abnormality integration time of abnormal determination time in the detected latest predetermined period of the transfer signals S ₁ exceeds the predetermined time, the conveyance of the can body 3 It is determined that the state is abnormal.

Besides the state of conveying signals S ₁ illustrated in FIG. 2, for example, by being conveyed in a state of the can body 3 is slightly inclined, the carrier signal S ₁ is ON as detects an abnormal state of conveyance of the can body 3 It is input to the signal input / output unit in a state, or it is transported by the conveyor 21 whose surface has been deformed such as unevenness due to deterioration over time despite being transported in the state of the upright can A. Te, which may transport signals S ₁ as detects an abnormal state of conveyance of the can body 3 is input to the signal input-output unit in the oN state.

Even if the can body 3 is transported in a slightly inclined state and an abnormality is detected, the abnormal transport determination unit 11 is in a state of transporting the can body 3 at a predetermined time or more within a predetermined period as described above. Since it is determined that the conveyance state is abnormal only when an abnormality is detected, no erroneous determination occurs. If the deformation such as irregularities on the surface of the conveyor 21 is caused by aged deterioration, reflected light detection range limit T ₂ may do it to change in accordance with the degree of deformation of the surface of the conveyor 21. This is because, for example, when a recess is generated in the conveyor 21 to which the inverted can D shown in FIG. 2 is transported, the transport height of the inverted can D is lowered at the recessed portion of the conveyor 21 as compared with a portion where the conveyor 21 is not deformed. , the time in which the bottom portion of the reverse standing cans D exceeds the reflected light detection range limit T ₂ is shortened. Therefore, the transfer signal time is reduced to S ₁ is inputted to the signal input unit, since the detection of the reverse standing cans D becomes difficult.

Abnormality conveyance determination unit 11, even if the carrier signal S ₁ is input to the signal input-output unit in the ON state, the abnormal state of conveyance of the can body 3 by accumulated a predetermined time or more of the predetermined time period If is not detected, it is not determined that the conveyance state of the can 3 is abnormal.

  The predetermined period and the predetermined time are determined based on experimental data in which the cans 3 are placed on the conveyor 21 and conveyed in a normal conveyance state and an abnormal conveyance state. Since the storage unit only needs to store the conveyance state of the can 3 for a predetermined period, a memory capacity is not required.

(About the display controller)

When the image stop request signal S < _b > ₂ is input, the display control unit 15 stops the display of the image input from the imaging unit 14 at an image for which the conveyance state is determined to be abnormal. With such a configuration, when the image data D is determined to be abnormal, the display of the image data D is stopped, so that an operator who monitors the image can easily recognize the abnormality in the conveyance state.

(About the abnormality notification unit)
The can conveyance state abnormality detection device 1 includes an abnormality notification unit 16 that notifies that the conveyance state of the can 3 is abnormal.

  On the abnormality notification unit 16, a sound output unit including a speaker for outputting an alarm sound and a warning display such that a light source such as an LED performs rotation display, flashing display, lighting display, or both flashing / lighting display are displayed. A warning display unit and the like are provided.

By adopting such a configuration, the abnormality notification unit 16 notifies the conveyance state abnormality of the can body 3 with sound or light, so that the worker is not constantly monitoring the image of the display control unit 15. Is also easy to recognize.

In addition, when an abnormality such as a failure occurs, the conveyance state monitoring unit 12 outputs an abnormality occurrence signal indicating that an abnormality has occurred to the abnormal conveyance determination unit 11. Abnormality notification section 16, above signal different from the conveying abnormality notifying signal S ₃ of the abnormality conveyance determination unit 11 that has received the abnormality occurrence signal is input. Abnormality notifying unit 16 when the signal is input to notify that the color was different from the time of input of the transport abnormality notification signal S _3, the display, and in abnormal conveyance state monitoring unit 12 sound occurred.

Color from the time of input and the difference in the conveying abnormality notification signal S _3, the display, since such abnormal in the transport state monitoring unit 12 the sound is notified that occurs, the operator is done is notified by any abnormal Can be easily recognized.

  In addition, a signal indicating an abnormality other than the abnormality occurrence signal from the above-described conveyance state monitoring unit 12 may be input to the abnormality notification unit 16. For example, while the operating state or stop state of the conveyor 21 is detected, the can body transport unit 2 includes an operating state detection unit to which the reference signal P is input, and the reference signal P is input by the operating state detection unit. If it is detected that the conveyor 21 is in a stopped state, a signal indicating that the state of the conveyor 21 is abnormal may be input to the abnormality notification unit 16. In addition, when abnormality occurs in various sensors provided in the can transport state abnormality detection device 1, a signal indicating abnormality of the sensor may be input to the abnormality notification unit 16. By receiving signals indicating various abnormalities, the abnormality notifying unit 16 notifies various abnormalities.
